He is of one of my favourite Japanese illustrators/artists and I was blown away by the quality of his work. I really appreciate his approach to illustration, which is not really commercial.”<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/idnworld/~4/aJsYaUKaIho" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Tue, 18 Dec 2018 17:53:19 -0800http://www.idnworld.com/creators/JoseMendezhttp://www.idnworld.com/creators/JoseMendezGuillaume Cornet — Paris, France / London, UKhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/idnworld/~3/xKTd7iq1jRI/GuillaumeCornet<img src="http://files.idnworld.com/creators/files/v25n1/GuillaumeCornet/600w.jpg" width="600px"><br>What is the most memorable piece of illustration you have come across? “Paul Noble’s drawings for Nobson Newton — the amount of work he has put into this imaginary world and the use of large pieces that are joined together to create a larger image.”<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/idnworld/~4/xKTd7iq1jRI" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Mon, 17 Dec 2018 15:13:47 -0800http://www.idnworld.com/creators/GuillaumeCornethttp://www.idnworld.com/creators/GuillaumeCornetMarcus Walters — Stroud, UKhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/idnworld/~3/sFfukUcDuH8/MarcusWalters<img src="http://files.idnworld.com/creators/files/v25n1/MarcusWalters/600w.jpg" width="600px"><br>What mistakes or traps should young designers try to avoid when creating an illustration? “Do your own thing — get inspired but never copy!”<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/idnworld/~4/sFfukUcDuH8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Sun, 16 Dec 2018 12:58:39 -0800http://www.idnworld.com/creators/MarcusWaltershttp://www.idnworld.com/creators/MarcusWaltersPeter Becker — Gotcha! — Merzig, Germanyhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/idnworld/~3/Ig_yhhu5zEg/PeterBecker-Gotcha<img src="http://files.idnworld.com/creators/files/v25n1/PeterBecker-Gotcha/600w.jpg" width="600px"><br>What is the attraction for you of creating illustration? “First of all, it’s about making thoughts, reflections and inquiries palpable, and living up to my inner aspirations.

I love illustration because it gives me the opportunity to develop a project with my own style.

The larger your database, the more capable you will be to define your point of view, your style. The style is the union between gesture (calligraphy) and your way of perceiving the world around you.”<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/idnworld/~4/wt7cZUJFViE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Sun, 09 Dec 2018 22:38:29 -0800http://www.idnworld.com/creators/JonJuarez-Harriorriharhttp://www.idnworld.com/creators/JonJuarez-HarriorriharPeter Greenwood — Brighton, UKhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/idnworld/~3/Q_2H-Kzf5Dk/PeterGreenwood<img src="http://files.idnworld.com/creators/files/v25n1/PeterGreenwood/600w.jpg" width="600px"><br>What mistakes or traps should young designers try to avoid when creating illustration? “I think that when you are starting out — though this applies to me now as much as when I started — you have to engage with what you are interested in, what makes you tick and gets you excited. Trying to create something that pre-empts what’s already out there will not really work. It should be about who you are and what floats your boat. That way, you get authenticity in your work and a universality that everyone can engage with.”<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/idnworld/~4/Q_2H-Kzf5Dk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Thu, 06 Dec 2018 13:43:08 -0800http://www.idnworld.com/creators/PeterGreenwoodhttp://www.idnworld.com/creators/PeterGreenwoodPerspective announces the winners of A&D Trophy Awards 2018 — Hong Konghttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/idnworld/~3/jWDiIm1Eq74/ADTrophyAwards-2018<img src="http://files.idnworld.com/potm/potmlinks/dec18/ADTrophyAwards-2018.jpg" width="600px"><br>

It’s an amazing and powerful tool that needs only a sheet of paper and a pencil! It’s a kind of magic.”<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/idnworld/~4/OZBaVo1i2eU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Wed, 05 Dec 2018 13:52:43 -0800http://www.idnworld.com/creators/Icinorihttp://www.idnworld.com/creators/IcinoriMateusz Szulik — Rybnik, Polandhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/idnworld/~3/95urIen7JgQ/MateuszSzulik<img src="http://files.idnworld.com/creators/files/v25n1/MateuszSzulik/600w.jpg" width="600px"><br>What attracts you to create illustrations? “The first great attraction for me is the process itself. Working on a specific theme or brief, trying to solve problems for the client, or technical problems, creating an imaginative world or characters — all these things are super fun and rewarding. And I’m always trying to find a small area of the image where I can put something that’s ‘my very own’ or just for fun. The second thing is the end result and the feeling that the illustration induces in the viewer. That’s also very rewarding.”<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/idnworld/~4/95urIen7JgQ" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Tue, 04 Dec 2018 09:36:54 -0800http://www.idnworld.com/creators/MateuszSzulikhttp://www.idnworld.com/creators/MateuszSzulikDFA Design for Asia Awards 2018 — Hong Konghttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/idnworld/~3/IAMftE97E40/DFA-2018<img src="http://files.idnworld.com/potm/potmlinks/nov18/DFA-2018.jpg" width="600px"><br>Since 2003, the DFA Design for Asia Awards honours and acknowledges user-centric design projects and solutions that embrace cultural values unique in Asian societies, with concerns for sustainable development and use of technology to enhance and improve the quality of life for people in the region.
